This series started out with an uphill battle for me. I enjoyed the last series so much that I was already coming into this with an air of skepticism that was not fair to the book. However, a mild dislike for Tony's character design aside, I found myself truly enjoying this first issue. Read Full Review

This book has some fun moments like the factory workers shading Stark, the new Iron Monger design/Justine Hammer showing she's not a nepo baby, but it's not a hit straight out of the gates. Read Full Review

The new creative team starts strong in getting all of their pieces into place for their story, with a jam-packed issue that nicely balances action, character development and corporate drama. Read Full Review

Iron Man #1 is a new volume but it feels like it veers off in a new direction far too quickly with little build up, justification, or any of its ideas fleshed out. It's like there's a missing chapter to bridge the volumes and leads to a rather jarring start. Read Full Review

Artis Julis Ohta gets a lot of material to work with here. From Hulk-adjacents, to repulsor beams, to various Iron Man suits, its a good showcase for him. A character like Iron Man never usually lends himself to having the most fantastic or surrealistic art, and his books usually trend more towards realism, but Ohtas handle is in incredibly solid, which fits in with the broader whole of the package presented here Iron Man #1 is perfectly solid.

Iron Man #1 is a frustrating, annoying, utterly off-putting first issue. New Marvel writer Spencer Ackerman puts Tony Stark through the wringer by making a series of boneheaded mistakes and inconsistent decisions that don't remotely align with Tony's character. This issue isn't an Iron Man comic. It's a comic starring Spencer Ackerman wearing Iron Man skin, and it's not going to move the needle one bit. Read Full Review

I'm willing to give Ackerman the benefit of the doubt on this one. An anti-corporate, pro-union Tony Stark is what's needed right now.

its not a bad issue, and I do like the new suit. But it feels repetitive on Tony stark losing his company.

I liked the overall direction of the story but I do have some nitpicks. I find it a little hard to believe that Tony could be out of action so long without some assistance coming from friends. I mean, he's currently active in Avengers so it's kinda hard to partition the two books as two completely separate entities. He's not Wolverine able to slide in and out of a bunch of books under the radar because as a celebrity and founding member of the Avengers his movements and activities would be part of the public conscious. He was also made out to look and be exceedingly weak, especially at the end with his emaciated looking arms and body. Also, a production gripe I had was my copy had some bad ink smearing on several of the lower halves of pages. Dunno if that was just mine or if that happened with the whole batch. It doesn't look like something that happened after it left the printer, I almost thought it was intentional at first but after numerous pages and how it interfered with the speech balloons and art I figured it had to be a printer error.

I do appreciate the core of the story, his fight to steer his company back toward the path of good. I know that aspect of the character is always comparable to Bruce Wayne's similar efforts but this issue felt even more similar. The plot does feel a little retread-y, with just enough to differentiate it from several previous stories. It was handled well though, and I am looking forward to seeing where this goes. more

Holy moly.

The last Iron Man run I read was Christopher Cantwells magnificent take on the character.

The depth and nuance of that run is all but gone. I understand Marvel are trying to give writers experience but after Cantwell elevated Iron Man in the comics for the first time in years, I'd have hoped to have seen some bigger names take on the task.

I say Arthur nails it. I won't say it's a 1 but it's close. Yet another terrible run of Iron Man on the horizon. EDIT: The more I thought about it, the more I hated it so....moved it from a 3 to a 2

Brutal take on this? It's retreading things that other writer have done better many times before. Tony somehow has one of his old armors injure him and puts him in the hospital for weeks and has no Avengers, Rhodey, Riri or even Pepper Potts even show up. He can't find a virus, so he just updates everything, which is absolutely the last thing you would ever, ever do. So plot-proof villain shows up and has somehow repurposed his Mysterium armor into an Iron Monger and can turn off any suit, yet somehow Tony won't go back to the last suits that were almost analog, he has to craft a super-new-old style suit with a sword. Worst dreck since we found out Tony Stark is adopted baby Stark and his parents are a washed out SHIELD and washed out HYDRA agents. more
